MUSCLE SHOALS, AL (WAFF) - Donating your organs can change lives.

For a former Alabama Law Enforcement officer his generous spirit lives through his organ donations following his untimely death. His family is now getting the opportunity to share his story across the nation.

Brian Faulkner committed his life to public service through law enforcement, dedicating himself to not only his family, but his community. Faulkner died in March of 2014 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash.

"He was always finding a way to help anybody he could and that's just makes me really happy to know he's still able to help people when he's not here,” said son Blake Faulkner.

His wife Heather said her husband was a planner "he had things planned out. He knew that once he left this earth that he wanted to give somebody else the chance of a better life."
